The Sterling Trucks National Championship trophies remain in
familiar hands this evening (Sunday) after both Lisa Aitken and Alan Clyne
retained their titles at Edinburgh Sports Club.

It was a fourth successive national title for Clyne and a
remarkable ninth overall whilst Aitken was also celebrating back-to-back titles.

Lisa’s victory continues her rich vein of form which has
seen her land three PSA Tour titles since mid-December and secure notable
scalps at the world’s biggest events, including the Tournament of Champions and
the 2019 World Championships.

She was strong favourite going into the event but showed no
sign of nerves in Sunday’s final, beating Alison Thomson 11-3, 11-3, 11-4 on
court five in a repeat of the 2018 gold medal match.

Lisa beat Carrie Hallam (5) 11-3, 11-5, 11-6 in Saturday’s
semi-final and didn’t drop a game throughout the tournament.

“I also want to set a good example for the young ones
and be a role model but if they are not around and learning from you then
that’s harder.

“So it has been great this weekend to be around all the
junior players. Growing up I didn’t really have any females to look up to and
ask questions but having been around players from other countries, I realise
how important it is to be that person.”

She added: “Kylie Lindsay (Senior Performance Coach)
has come in at Scottish Squash and done fantastically to engage with the
females, be that girls, mums or Masters’ players and encouraged them to get
more involved at national level, not just at their clubs.”
